Re: DRWM

Your Mac CDev sounds neat, but:
1. Alot of applications/NDAs do "nifty" things to the menu bar, such as
draw clocks, add menus that let you switch applications, etc... but one
problem is that they don't check to see if the menu bar is there or not
before drawing their nifty stuff. Also, still other apps do
HideMenuBar/ShowMenuBar's of their own, which would force the
CDev/INIT/whatever to catch all tool calls to ShowMenubar. Finally, you'd
want to use the SHS hierarchic init or write your own heirarchic code,
which (either way) wouldn't be too hot. If you think you're up to
something like this, by all means go ahead :)
